A STRAIN GE DELUSION.
Mrs. CarrIco of Loogootee, Iud Sees the
Wrath of Her mother-in-Law.
IEr-nrruilln

Mrs. Carrico, of Loogootee, Iud Sees the
Wrath of Her nIother-in-Law.
Evansville Courier.
From a gentleman who arrived on the
south bound train yesterday, The Courier
heard the following strange story, which he
vouched for:
Sunday evening Mr.. Thomas Carrico and
his wife, OF Loogootee, were seated in front
OF their residence, when Mrs. Carrico call
ed the attention OF her husband to wo-
man walking toward them on the sidewalk,
who, when reaching the gate, stopped.
Mr.. Carrico replied he saw no one, and
Mrs. Csrrico became terribly frightened.
David f. Carrico was called from an adj
joining room, who also assured her that
there was no one at the gate.
Mrs. Csrrico gszed searchingly toward
the apparition and fell shrieking to the
ground in a fainting fit. A physician and
neiehbors were called in. After restoring
her to consciousness she avered that she
saw her mother-in-law, Mrs. Dave Carrico,
who had been dead three months, dressed
in the usual garb she wore In life. Mrs.
Carrico does not believe in spirttualism.
but she firmly believes it was an omen of
death sent to her from the other world.
She was apparently enjoying good health.
Last night the Washington Daily Ga
zette arrived here giving the same story
another column the Gazette says:
This is an old story In a new place with
new characters. No kind of mental delu-
sion has so firm hold upon the human
mind as that which relates TO the reappear-
ance of the dead. Decisions, like the mir
age, are easily dispelled, but hundreds can
be found to-day whose belief IN ghosts is
unimpsired. There was a time in Rome
when the ''sheeted ghosts did squeak and
gibber in the Streets" as every true Roman
believed. The Indian theory of the jour
ney of the soul to the happy hunting
grounds, as illustrated in their putting
food upon his burial shed, is like our be
lief in ghosts, haunted houses, etc. 1t is a
manifestation of q similar faith by diff
ferent methods"
Haunted houses are daily becoming
fewer In number. On account Of fright

one night fifteen or twenty years ago In 9

occupied was said to be haunted, and NJ

Faults of American Girls.

Count Chapolsky has written a very in
teresting letter to the New York Mail in
which he discusses the faults OF American
girls OF the present day. and after giving
instances of the precocity of the little
girls and the loudness of the older ones
rests the blame where it rightfulIy be-
lcngs-vith their mothers.
From his observations of the behavior
OF the daughters OF the people of high
social position and wealth at some OF our
fashionable resorts. and OF the converse
ton INDUCED ia by these young girls and
their parents he finds that their sole OBJ
Ject in life is to have good time, " which
il seems consists 10 whistling, shouting
and taxing long drives without chaperon,
and screaming on. popular songs as well
as dancing at all hours Of the night.
He says: when a man remembers
what an adorable being a true, womanly,
gentle girl can be, even without the gift of
beauty, he is not to be blamed for asking,
What do these girls eventually become?
What do they propose for themselves, ana
what do their mothers propose TOR them2
We give it up, but k1ow what don't become
Of them. It is not this kind of girl a man
wants when he comes to select a wife. 1t
Is not this kind of girl who marries ear

vafs, runs the sewing machine and makes

one would sleep in it. 1t stood for years
unchanged, even the window curtains re-
manning as they were. A member of the
family who did not believe in haunts, etc.,
slept in the room upon coming home
after the lapse of several years and the
next morning commented upon the beau
tiful effect OF the white window curtains
waving in the breeze. This was the ghost.
In another house some evil spirit came
into a certain room and upset the chairs.
Investigation showed, in the course of a
year, that the owners mother, an aged
lady robed in a white sleeping gown, was
somnambulist, and always went to that par
ticular room, turned over the chairs and
went back to bed.

Another Brave Girl.

lshelter Island Letter to Mail and Express.
The guests of the Msnhanset had quite a
sensation on Thursday, and young lady
from st. Louis, one of their number who
showed remarkable bravery, is the heroine
of the hour. Whils a number of persons
from the hotel were bathing. one of them,
Mr. George 7. Balm, OF the st. Louis Post
Dispatch, was suddenly taken with cramps
and Immediately sank. Miss Nina Mat
thews, also of ST. Louis, who is staying at
the Manhssset, and who is en- expert
swimmer, divei and succeeded in bring
ing Mr.. Balm to the surface, but in his
struggles he seized her in such a way that
both of them sank. A general alarm was
given, assistance came. and both were res-
cued by some gentlemen, who dived aud
brought them safely to shore. Mr.. Balm
weights about one hundred and seventy
five pounds, and the young lady who
sought to rescue him not over one hun
bred. The guests at the hotel are arrang-
ing a testimonial of their admiration Of
her bravery, which will soon be presented
to her.

THE HYDRopHoBIc CURE.
The Practical Results of the Pasteur Treat
ment-A Wonderful Showing.
ITondoo Timar

lLOuuOu Iluee.l
According to the report of the perpetual
secretary, the number of persons subjected
at The institute to the Pasteur treatment
during the fourteen months from the end
of October, 1885, to the end of December,
1856, was, in all, 1852.
OF this number 2, 164 had been bitten by
animals known for certain to have been
mad at the time of biting, and the remain
ing SIS by animals suspected to have been
mad. OF the 2,164 bitten by animals un-
doubleday mad, and treated according to
Pasteur's method, % persons died, repre-
senting a proportionate mortality OF 81
per cent. OF the SIS bitten by animals pre-
sumed to be mad. and subjected to Pas
tours treatment, only died. e., OBS per
cent.
Now, the statistics of rabies before the
discovery and application of the Pasteur
method give the proportion of mortality
from that disease among the persons af-
fected by it as at lowest 16 per cent. Ii,
then, the 2, 164 persons In the State de-
scribed had not been treated by the Pasteur
method, the cases of mortality among
them, according to the determination of
the statistics, would have been. not 20, but
446. That is to say, of the z, l64 persons,
3l7 owe their present existence to Pasteur's
method.
Looking next exclusively to the most
dangerous cases, We find that there were
As persons bitten by mad wolves, 1S6 per-
sons bitten on the head or face by animals
presumed to be mad. OF the as in question
Z died.. e., mortality Of Ia per cent.
The mortality in similar cases before the
Pasteur method is ascertained to have been
60 to so per cent. Moreover, three of the
forty-eight persons had actually broken out
in rabies before the application OF the
treatment, and their deaths may therefore
be left out of account, thus reducing the
mortality Of this class under the Pasteur
treatment to per cent, as against 50 to so
per cent without the Pasteur treatment.
OF the 1S6 specified the number OF persons
who died was nine, or 483 rer cent, as
as against IS per cent without the Pasteur
treatment. That is, out of 1856, l6S would
have died but for the Pasteus treatment,
whereas. with the Pasteur treatment only
nine died.

Female Infiaeuce IN Politics.

In England 1t is wsll-knoTn fact that
the female relations of political candi-
date are often powerful siis in securing
scccess, says the Boston Herald. In this
country female influence in politics is one
that has not been greatly utilized, and a
candidates chance for success would be
materially lessened, were it known he was
using this means of securing popularity,
and yet II is admitted to be an indirect adj.
vantage to q public officer to have an at
tTsctive female relation to represent him
before the people. It is said that eastern
towns, recently visited by Mrs. Cleveland,
will go solidly for her husband in conse.
'quence of her affability and easy and
pleasant way of receiving people.

OUTLOOK FOR THE STATE FAIR.
A New horticultural Building Proposed
Effects of the Drouth

Ol the
The State Board of Agriculture is con-
sideriDg the advisibility of erecting a new
horticultural building at the exhibition
grounds. The plan submitted outlines q
building with four wings each twenty
feet in length, projecting out from a COM
mon center, where q fountain will be
erected. The total cost will ext eed 81. 500.
Secretary Heron reports the number of
applications for space for the coming fair
Is simply wonderful. One man who is con-
stantly employed at the grounds in mark
ing of space is hardly sufficient to do the
work. Over one hundred applications
came in yesterday. From a business stand
point the State Fair will be q success, judg-
ing from present indications. The drouth
may have some depressing effect,
however, Secretary Heron thinks
the late dry weather will prove blessing
from the fact that it heralds an abundant
crop next year. In 1881 there was no rain
fall from the Goth of June until the 10th of
September. Farmers who were in attend
ance at the Fair looked discouraged and
felt that they were almost ruined. They
shipped all their stock off to market for
fear that they had not enough grass to
winter them. But when the dry weather
broke the grass began to grow as it never
did before. There was scarcely any winter
and the next spring the crop was the heav-
lest the country has ever seen.

A writer in the Boston Traveller devotes
q third of a'column to prove that woman's
weakness is her foot. Well, what If it is?
Have men a weakness? We suppose not.
We might call them eccentricities, peculis-
rites or inconsistencies, and their name is
legion. Did you ever hear q man snore?
Did you ever hear that same individual
acknowledge that he snored2 Certainly
not. Did you ever know man to scknow-
ledge that he was vain Of his personal APP
pearaDce? Never, but he never was known
to like the young lady who remarked that
ne was not handsome. Did you ever know
q man who did not say to his wife that he
-'1lked to see lady dressed plain and SEN
sible." But when lady in plain and
sensible dress enters a car where this same
man is seated, and she may stand an hour
before he offers her his seat.
Did you ever hear man talk about
''abominable bangs" and tell his wife that
it would not be exactly conducive to his
personal safety and peace of mind, il she
should trim her front hair, that wouldn't
6irt with any girl with bangs that would
notice him.
Did you ever see a man get little bit
sick that didn't think he was going to die,
and require the entire attention of the
family, the near relatives and the neigh

Did you ever hear man find fault with

ally some one convenient to shoulder the
blame quietly. This might be called their
grestest inconsistency, and has been hand
ed down from Adam, subject to all modern
Improvements. These evidences of strength
in man could be enumerated indefinitely.
In proportion to the weakness of women
they are ten TO one.

The parents of a well-known society
belle in Litchfeld, H., did not object so
much to the young man, but it was his
name that struck terror to their souls and
accordingly forbade their daughter to &C.

The lovers laughed at bolts and bars,
eloped and were married in the usual way,
and now they are as happy pair OF Bolk-

permanently hitched may they journey
peacefully through life, and in ascending
the rugged hills never balk nor attempt
to kick out of the traces.
